Shu Yu ate two small vegetable buns and then went into the room to rest with the Shu family.

They were still divided into two rooms, one for the old madam and the other for the ladies of the Shu family.

The two rooms were large bunks, which could accommodate them to lie down and rest.

Shu Yu and the others entered the door. The leading officer glanced at them, especially at the Shu family members, and warned, “Hurry up and rest. We still have to hurry on tomorrow morning. Don’t cause trouble for me in the middle of the night. Otherwise, I won’t be polite.”

The Shu family members were as silent as cicadas in winter and did not dare to speak.

After the officer left, they glared fiercely at Shu Yu. However, they had been tired for a day and did not have the strength to do anything. They could only say harsh words.

“Just you wait. That couple only gave you five taels (monetary) of silver, and it won’t take more than a few days. When that five taels of silver is used up, let’s see how good your days will be.”

As soon as the Eldest Young Lady finished speaking, the Second Young Lady’s voice immediately followed. “I’ve told you long ago. On this road of exile, you’re alone. Sooner or later, you’ll suffer. I’ll wait and see what happens to you.”

Shu Yu looked at the two of them. Oh, these two Di Shu daughters who were still at loggerheads in the prison cell, when facing her, this “adopted daughter”, were united against a common enemy.

She had a heavy responsibility, and it deepened their sisterly relationship.

Shu Yu sighed and rubbed her stomach. “Dinner was not bad. I was so full.”

Then, she ignored them and crawled to the innermost part of the bunk and lay down.

The Shu family was so angry that they gritted their teeth, but they did not dare to make too much noise. Moreover, she was too tired today. The young lady of the Shu family was already lying on the bed with her eyes closed as if she could fall asleep at any time.

The others gave up. Anyway, they just had to wait. This was only the first day. Shu Yu’s future days might not be as good as theirs.

A few of them climbed into bed and prepared to sleep.

The big bunk could sleep more than ten people, and there were only seven of them in total. Moreover, the two of them were young, so the space was still very big.

No one was willing to get close to Shu Yu and stayed far away from her. There were at least two empty seats next to Shu Yu.

She wished that was the case and was happy to have peace.

The sky darkened, and the room quickly became quiet. The breathing of the person on the bed also gradually stabilized.

Perhaps because they were too tired, someone even started snoring.

Shu Yu wasn’t tired. She could still endure the journey of fifty miles, especially since the handcuffs on her feet weren’t heavy. In addition, she had eaten and drunk enough, so she was still in good spirits.

She couldn’t sleep and was a little homesick.

She didn’t know if the shop’s business was good today. When she saw the two thousand taels of silver that she left behind, the old lady would scold her. She might even save this money and wait for her to return.

She wanted to see them, but it would take at least half a year, or even longer.

This was the first time she had been away from home, and she was so worried.

She was lost in her thoughts when she heard a squeaking sound.

Shu Yu snapped back to reality and looked out the window. Sure enough, the window was opened with a small crack.

Her heart jumped. Could it be that those officials wanted to come in and do something?

As soon as this thought appeared in her mind, the gap in the window widened a little. A writing brush reached in from the outside, and then…It swayed left and right.

Shu Yu: ???

Wait, a brush?

Shu Yu seemed to have thought of something and slowly got up.

She was still chained, so even if she moved lightly, she still made some noise.
